Axe Makers of North America

"During the 'axe age' in America (arbitrarily 1850-1960), axes were a commodity of great importance. Today, only about five manufacturers remain in the U.S. and none in Canada. While the axe is not uniquely North American, its specific use in this land, along with the men who manufactured them, gave them a character all of their own." 

Axe Makers of North America: A Collection of Axe History and Manufacturers is a well-illustrated book that compiles the history of axes and their manufacturers in North America. Author: Allan Klenman. Editor: Larry McPhail. Paperback; 160 pages.
